Re: (OPERATIONS) SWITCHLIST PRINTING

Quick question. You say Excel 2000 - Is that a minimum, or exact requirement? For example, I'm running 2010, so I'm out of luck? What's the issue, VBA version compatibility, or something else? Blair Smith On 17/08/06 10:02, Dan Foltz DannyDont@... [jmriusers] wrote:

Re: (OPERATIONS) SWITCHLIST PRINTING
I seem to have come in the middle of this discussion but ... I have created
several, what I call "Manifest Creators". I believe that one or more of this would do what you are looking for. I continue in my efforts to create the documentation so that they are "stand alone" Apps. At the moment, I still need to do some explanation when someone new begins using them. The early versions have been around for several years. JMRI includes a Link (the RUN command) that will automatically "run" the app without leaving JMRI. These are all written in VBA within Excel using the CSV files that Dan B provides. If you or anyone is interested feel free to get with me. Some of these Apps are available in the JMRI User Group Files section under Operations and are generally know as "Manifest Creator". I have also begun the creation of a website so that the files can be removed from with the Files section so as to free up space within that area of the User Group . The issue is that the website, much like the documentation, is not complete. I am rather sporadic in my attempts to update both the documentation and the Website. I would be happy to send samples (and the Apps) of any or all of my creators to anyone interested. However, you must be running MS Excel version 2000. You can find additional information at . But please be aware that this site is not complete. So if, after learning more, you are interested, please let me know. You can respond via the user group or reach me directly at DannyDont@... ... all for now, Dan Foltz *Dan (Choo-Choo)** Foltz* *?* *"?A bad attitude is like a flat tire.

Re: New Version. 4.8 HELP
It would have been more correct for me to have replaced the word "append" with the phrase "copy and paste," but at least on this user's group, do not use "attach."
Another alternative is to upload the log to the Files section of this group. Cliff |

Re: New Version. 4.8 HELP
P.J.
Please append a copy of the text in your "Session.log" file found in your JMRI/log folder of equivalently the text displayed when you use the Help -> System console.. menu item. It is entirely possible that you will be able to solve this yourself with what is discovered in either of those places when the ERROR or WARN messages are investigated. But that is, in part, conjecture, since not all problems are described sufficiently in the log messages. With out those details, we are forced to speculate, and we all know how much good that might or might not do. Cliff Anderson Baja SoCal |

Re: Dispatcher, transits and sections. Trying to stop engine using stopping sensors.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for your help. What I want to do is automatically stop the engine at a precise position along a platform which is an autotrain. The documentation suggests using a stopping sensor, your guidance certainly explains why it did not work for me first time. So how do I stop the engine? If I use an action to pause the engine moving forward in the section on section entry with the forward stopping sensor then it keeps going. The only thing that I can see in actions is on section entry to set a signal to held, then when the engine triggers the forward stopping sensor it should stop? Is my logic correct? But when I try to do the is I get the following error: This is the action dialogue: I am now using 4.8 having upgraded, which has a lot of great features added to layout editor. Thanks again. Simon |

Re: Lightening Storm w/ Digitrax - How to Protect for G Scale
You should only buy surge protectors both whole house or power strip that display their status. My whole house protection panel show 2 greens if all is okay (2 phases). If the system trips then the green lights are out..
You do have to check the panels if you want the status and if you don't replace the module before another hit happens, you have no protection. Mike Atlanta, GA |

(OPERATIONS) SWITCHLIST PRINTING
I have lost much of my sight and find it a bit difficult to read the switch list and manifest reports printed out by JMRI. i recently purchased a new printer to address the problem but still the print is somewhat light even after changing all the print setting on the printer. If I capture a screen shot of a portion of a switch list using the screen capture program "JING" the captured switch list printing is black and easy to read. Is there a modification to Panel Pro for printing darker print? Can one print through another program such as Excel to try addressing this issue.

Re: Dispatcher, transits and sections. Trying to stop engine using stopping sensors.
Hi
To add a Sensor to a layout panel, add icon and select "Sensor icon".Stopping sensors fwd and back are relative to the fwd back of the block / section direction not the direction of the loco.They are used to position the train if it's been requested to stop, not to stop a train at a proceed signal, for that use an action, or manually change signal to red.Depending on your version of JMRI the clicking on the sensor only works with no zoom.? Steve G. Hi, Just to add... I have worked out that I can hand edit the layout xml file to add an ON SENSOR ACTIVE/INACTIVE action. When I do I can stop the engine at the appropriate point at a station. The TransitSectionAction? documentation in the Javadoc documentation tells you how to do this. There does not seem to be anyway to add it using Layout Editor nor the SET SENSOR ACTIVATE/INACTIVE events. Am I missing something. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
